Later today, SpaceX launches from Cape Canaveral Space four station, Florida, sending up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. The booster will attempt a drone ship landing in the Atlantic. Look west after sunset to catch the thin crescent moon. It'll set early, leaving the rest of the night nice and dark. Leo. The Lion rises in the east tonight.

NASA's approach to managing the development of crude lunar landers for Artemis has successfully controlled costs but not schedule, raising questions about NASA's desire to accelerate those efforts. Here's something to think about. The Voyager I spacecraft, launched in nineteen seventy seven, is now over fifteen billion miles from Earth and still sending data back. An asteroid called twenty twenty six FA is passing by today. It's about the size of a small building, passing about one point seven lunar distances away. No danger, just a cosmic neighbor dropping by. Tonight's report was compiled by AI from NASA Launch Library and Spaceflight News. See you tomorrow, night,
